Heal your past for the last time. Trauma and depression requires more than just talk. Most traditional talk therapies do not go deep enough. Relief comes but only lasts a short while. I use Somatic Experiencing and EMDR to reach the core of your being to create lasting change. This is because it works on the deepest past of your consciousness and nervous system. Once that is healed, then we can change the emotions and thought patterns.

Bringing a unique & colorful range of education and work experience, I am a mission-driven, lifelong advocate of egalitarian psychiatric rehabilitation. I use techniques, philosophies, and practices from around the world along with common sense from years of working in many different roles to provide clients with personalized and nuanced psychotherapy. I help people move toward their own "self-actualization", wherever they may be. I have worked with people experiencing severe mental illness, people working through criminal sentencing, and the general population. I keep a meditation practice and offer therapy-integrated and/or standalone certified mindfulness/meditation instruction. I have an innate capacity to see and connect with people struggling in difficult places; I meet and understand people no matter who or where they are in life.

Call for a FREE 20 MINUTE CONSULTATION. My emphasis is in two areas: (1) Helping people overcome GRIEF and LOSS (perhaps a DIVORCE or DEATH of a loved one); and (2) CHRONIC PAIN Release. The loss may be of a spouse, relative, friend, pet; or the loss of a parent to dementia or entering a care facility; the loss of one's own independence, freedom or mobility due to natural aging. Counseling can also be very effective in releasing CHRONIC PAIN. Many times chronic pain develops or continues due to emotional stressors. During counseling we can identify what stressors could be causing your pain. In many cases, pain that was once attributable to a solely medical cause or had no diagnosable onset, continues or is pronounced by unperceived emotional, stress-related issues, FEARS, ANXIETY. Yes, the pain is real NOT imaginary. I am here to help.
